Coen Win is a right-hander of Australian nationality who was born in 1999 and weighs 1m93 and 86kg, and is a promising former Australian national team player who is growing based on aggressive pitching and excellent control. He was coached by Chris Oxspring, a former foreign pitcher of the LG Twins and currently a pitching coach with the Sydney Blue Sox, and especially, he participated in the LG Twins Arizona spring camp this 2025 season and worked with the team for about two weeks, which will greatly help the KBO League and the team adapt.
In the 2024-2025 season of the Australian Professional Baseball League (ABL), he played in 15 games and played 38.1 innings with a 3-2 record and a 2.35 ERA as the main starter for the Sydney Blue Sox. In addition, he has remained at the top of major pitching indicators such as ERA, WHIP, and the strikeout ratio to walks, establishing himself as one of the most notable pitchers in the league.
LG said, `Coen Win is a starting member of the Australian national team, and we have decided to replace Hernandez given that he has played games until recently, maintained his sense of play, and trained with the team for practical testing for the Asian quarter during the Arizona spring camp.'
Hernández won the match against the Samsung Lions in Jamsil on the 15th, becoming the main character of the team's no-hitter with six innings of no hit and no run, but was excluded from the first-team entry the next day. The reason was a thigh injury. Hernandez, who had a perfect march to two outs in the top of the sixth inning at the time, threw a hit ball to No. 9 Lee Jae-hyun, so the perfect was canceled. There was a possibility of a no-hitter as he immediately hit No. 1 Kim Sung-yoon. However, 79 pitches were also replaced by Kim Jin-sung in the top of the seventh inning, raising doubts, and LG said, `We replaced Hernandez as a protective measure because he showed signs of clumping in his right front thigh.'
Hernandez said in a post-match interview that he felt uncomfortable on his thigh side from about the fourth inning, so he was replaced after the sixth inning. The training coaches gave me a massage and I think it's okay after that. I hope it's not a big injury"I was disappointed when I came down, but I think the timing of coming down was right because the first thing to do is to be healthy."
However, the next day, a thorough examination revealed the injury. LG manager Yeom Kyung-yeop said "I heard that his thigh muscles were torn about 2.2cm. "It takes about six weeks to return to the game." He said, "I accurately grasped the reason through analysis with coach Kim Kwang-sam, and I trained him to set the point. There was a situation where I could continue to go well in the future, but unfortunately, I got injured", showing great regret.
Coen Win is scheduled to enter the country on the 24th.
